Venus Studios

We paid €70 a day for this room through Airbnb and stayed in August. It looked like the listing photos, but there were too many problems for that price. The toilet button was rusty, and sometimes the flush got stuck and kept running until we opened the tank and moved it by hand. Even when it worked, it used far too much water. The electric hob barely heated anything: after 15 minutes, a cup of water was still lukewarm. Running the hob and air conditioning together cut the room's electricity, and we had to reset the switches on the panel. The key card was supposed to go in a slot for the power to work, but the room worked without it. We were also told the AC needed the balcony door closed, though that wasn't true. The kettle was rusty inside and unusable. There were tiny shampoo bottles, but no dish soap despite the dishes, pots, and cutlery in the cupboards. Most people bring shampoo on vacation, but not dish soap. The staff knew about these issues and still hadn't done anything. We booked in a hurry and didn't look at the Google Maps reviews. The Airbnb listing seemed fine, but I wouldn't recommend staying here. Given the choice again, I'd book somewhere else. It also seems odd to list a regular hotel on Airbnb.

The room was a good size, clean and basic, with lovely views.

Chris gave excellent service, and the place was spotless.

You get good value for your money.
